Headache/Migraine
Nearly everyone has experienced a headache while a small portion of the population suffer from migraines. Chinese medicine has the ability to offer significant relief where western medicine often cannot.
Neck Pain
From motor vehicle accidents to just sleeping wrong, neck pain is one of the most common presentations in orthopedic practice. Orthopedic acupuncture works wonders in relieving pain and improve mobility.
Shoulder Pain/ Rotator Cuff Injury
The shoulder is often put into compromising positions and under harsh conditions. Postural corrections and dry needling help to assist recovery and reestablish the integrity of this often-abused joint.
Golfer's Elbow
Over-gripping and repetitive stress on the soft tissue of the forearm can result in inflammation. The inner or outer aspects of the elbow may then present with persistent pain with use. Orthopedic acupuncture and myofascial release help to resolve this condition and get you back to your favorite activities.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
An all too prevalent presentation in modern times, yet one that is frequently misread by medical professionals. Numbness in the first three fingers is the most prominent symptom of this illness, which also causes discomfort in the wrist or wrists. Interestingly, a single needling point is typically sufficient for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in most patients.
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common ailments that are treated, with the great majority of patients experiencing lower back discomfort. Back pain, like the pain caused by many other injuries, can range from being light to severe. It is possible for normal actions to become challenging or even impossible to carry out.
Hip Pain/Dysfunction
Hips can be the hidden culprit in back pain. Because the hips help to integrate the upper and lower bodies, their dysfunction can result in many other problems, above and below. A proper assessment of hip joint function is extremely important for lower back health and conditions.
Knee Pain
Pain and injuries in the knees can through off the entire body resulting in conditions from feet to neck. Easy to injure and difficult to recover from, acupuncture can provide the large associated muscles with the proper stimulus and the joint tissue with the needed circulation for healing.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is characterised by a stabbing pain in the heel that is exacerbated by the first few steps a person takes after awakening in the morning. This condition occurs when the thick band that normally runs along the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed.
Tennis Elbow
Over-gripping a tennis racket and repetitive stress on the forearm's soft tissue can lead to inflammation. This can cause persistent pain on the inner or outer sides of the elbow during activities. Orthopedic acupuncture and myofascial release are helpful therapies to resolve tennis elbow and get you back on the court pain-free.
TMJ
An all too prevalent presentation in modern times, yet one that is frequently misread by medical professionals. Jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth, and even headaches are prominent symptoms of this illness. Interestingly, a single needling point within the realm of acupuncture can often offer significant relief for the treatment of TMJ in most patients.
Neuropathies
Neuropathies, which affect the nerves and can cause pain, numbness, and weakness, are a common source of discomfort for many people. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. While research on the effectiveness of acupuncture for neuropathies is ongoing, some studies suggest it may offer relief from pain and other symptoms.
